Most influential racing game- pole position, there, i win.

Most influential game- asteroids/pac-man/space invaders/pong, these games actually got people playing the games so they are godly now.

Re: Most influential game of all time [no poll]

hope this hasn't been brought up in a thread before, but what's the most influential game of all time?? (excluding first gen things like pong b/c that's just silly)

notice the end of my post, where i talk about no first gen games...which all of the ones you mention fall into...

whoa, i'm bleeding...damn

now, on topic: whatever the first shareware/demo disc thing was the most influential game. i remember never owning Doom, but playing several demo discs which contained Doom and other cool games. the whole "demo" thing made games alot more widespread, because demo discs were cheaper and let u play a buncha games so u would know what u liked. demo discs were the most influential, even tho they arent exactly games in and of themselves...
